HPE ProLiant DL380 G11 2U rack server

The HPE ProLiant DL380 G11 is a 2U rack server built for general-purpose workloads. It ships with one Intel Xeon Gold 5416S processor running at 2.0 GHz and 32 GB of DDR5 SDRAM. The chassis supports a second processor and up to 8 TB of memory. Integrated controllers handle Serial ATA 600 and 12 Gb/s SAS storage.

Suited for scale-up compute.

This server suits organisations that need a flexible two-socket platform for virtualisation, databases or container clusters. The single installed CPU leaves headroom for growth without an immediate second processor purchase. Buyers who need dense GPU acceleration, ultra-low-latency networking or a 1U footprint should evaluate other form factors.

32 GB DDR5 SDRAM installed, expandable to 8 TB

The system arrives with 32 GB of DDR5 SDRAM populated across its DIMM slots. Maximum supported capacity reaches 8 TB when fully populated with compatible modules. Memory type and maximum capacity are fixed by the platform; only DDR5 modules validated for this generation will operate correctly.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the single-processor 32 GB DDR5 configuration or plan for a second Xeon Gold 5416S and more memory?

The server ships with one Xeon Gold 5416S at 2.0 GHz and 32 GB DDR5. A second socket is available for another 5416S, and the platform supports up to 8 TB of DDR5 when both processors are installed.

What does the 2.0 GHz clock on the Xeon Gold 5416S mean for real workloads?

The 2.0 GHz base frequency runs across all 16 cores of the 5416S, providing steady throughput for general-purpose tasks such as virtualization, databases and container hosts.

How does the onboard 12 Gb/s SAS controller limit storage performance?

The integrated 12 Gb/s SAS controller caps each attached drive at 12 Gb/s, so SAS SSDs and HDDs will not exceed that link speed.
